Now, that fixes that file for that scenario now I'm wondering if there will be other permissions issues with other files, because I noticed some other files (that I checked randomly) don't all share the same permissions for my user account! I'm completely OK giving my user account permission to modify and write to this file through the XAMPP app. Then I could click OK to get back to the Permissions box to add "Modify" and "Write" for it. Note that I typed my username into the "Enter the object names to select" box, then clicked Check Names this auto-populated my username reference (?), though I'm not sure how it would work if it finds multiple results. The xampp-control.ini file has only Admin permissions my user account is not attached to it.Īdding my user account to the xampp-control.ini file's Security, and adding Write permission then allowed XAMPP's config panel to save my changes. So, my C:\xampp folder has these permissions: for Admin, basically full access for my user account, Read, Execute, and Write. I discovered this by right-clicking the xampp folder or the xampp-control.ini file then selecting Properties and clicking the Security tab, then clicking into each attached user account's permissions. based on the permissions of the file being different than its parent folder. I found a solution after noticing that the file already existed from apparently a past workaround I tried with running XAMPP as Admin. I've gone through a handful of seemingly-related questions here but they seem to be related to MySQL/PHP questions and not Windows file system permissions. If you know a solution that worked for you, that avoided running XAMPP with Admin privileges, please let me know. I've tried re-installing to another folder, like to C:\Users\Me, or a sub-folder like Documents or a custom one, but I just got different permissions issues that I struggled to figure out. I've tried a suggestion to run the XAMPP app with Administrator (elevated) access… but that seems like a major security issue, considering I don't know exactly what XAMPP would or could do with my files that require that permission, whether intended by the people who run XAMPP or not. This "Configuration of Control Panel" box opens after clicking the "Config" button at the top right of the running XAMPP app: After installing XAMPP to Windows 10 (all default/recommended installation attributes), I now have an issue changing its configuration after opening it.Įrror: Cannot create file "C:\xampp\xampp-control.ini".Ĭlicking Save to a change in Configuration of Control Panel:
